Job Description

Remote Backend Developer (Node.js, Python, Ruby)

Step Into a Role Where Your Code Shapes the Future

What if your backend logic became the backbone of seamless experiences for thousands every day? If you love solving big puzzles, refining data flows, and making systems hum with efficiency, you’ll thrive here. We’re not just seeking code architects—we want someone ready to spark progress, empower teams, and leave their mark on products that truly matter.

Your Impact: Transform Ideas Into Reliable Systems

You’ll turn business logic into robust, scalable APIs, architecting solutions that support real-world demands. When a product team dreams up a new feature, your code will be the invisible engine bringing it to life—processing requests with speed, managing distributed data, and ensuring uptime for users worldwide. You’ll simplify complexity for product managers, design innovative data models, and create API endpoints that frontend engineers can count on—whether they’re working in React, Vue, or Angular.

What Success Looks Like

You’ll ship code that powers critical workflows: Think real-time payments, secure logins, and user dashboards that respond instantly—no matter where the user is.
You’ll partner with design, product, and support to build unified solutions that aren’t just functional but also delightful to use.
You’ll automate what can be automated, from CI/CD pipelines to health checks and log aggregation, freeing everyone up to do their best work.
You’ll nurture a culture of curiosity: Whether you’re mentoring a junior developer or suggesting a smarter caching layer, you’re always learning and helping others level up.

Key Responsibilities

Build & Optimize APIs

From RESTful endpoints in Node.js to background jobs in Python or Ruby, you’ll design APIs that handle high volumes gracefully. You’ll weigh trade-offs, implement best practices in authentication and data validation, and ensure integrations remain seamless as features evolve.

Drive Data Integrity & Security

You’ll craft efficient data models, wrangle SQL and NoSQL databases, and apply encryption and role-based access controls to ensure sensitive information remains protected. When questions arise about GDPR or HIPAA compliance, you’ll already have the answers—because privacy isn’t an afterthought here.

Champion Performance at Scale

Latency matters, so you’ll set up load testing, tune queries, and introduce asynchronous processing where it makes sense. You’ll identify bottlenecks, implement caching strategies, and maintain system resilience, even under high traffic loads.

Collaborate and Communicate With Clarity

You simplify complex ideas—whether it’s over Zoom, Slack, or code review. You’ll lead technical discussions, challenge assumptions with kindness, and make architecture diagrams that guide everyone forward. Your documentation sets the gold standard, ensuring handoffs are frictionless.

Innovate, Iterate, and Inspire

Every sprint is an opportunity to push boundaries. You’ll stay up-to-date on new frameworks, advocate for improved tooling, and share your learnings at virtual meetups. Your curiosity keeps the whole team moving toward more innovative solutions and bolder experiments.

Tools and Technologies

Core Stacks: Node.js, Python, Ruby on Rails, Express, Django, Flask
Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB
DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, CI/CD with GitHub Actions
Remote Collaboration: Jira for backlog workflows, Notion for docs, Slack for quick syncs, and Figma for API handoff diagrams

What Sets You Apart

You’ve built and maintained APIs or microservices that scale—think tens of thousands of daily requests.
You thrive on ownership, seeing features through from whiteboard sketches to production launches.
You spot problems others miss: race conditions, subtle bugs, or performance hiccups that only emerge at scale.
Your code is clean, well-tested, and ready for scrutiny. Peer review isn’t a chore—it’s a source of pride.
You’re committed to accessibility and inclusive tech. Whether it’s internationalization or mobile-first API design, your solutions are built for everyone.
You share feedback generously and mentor peers, making remote collaboration something people look forward to.
You move quickly, but you’ll always have space to focus intensely on what matters most.

Working Remotely: Empowerment, Flexibility, Trust

Imagine a workspace where your daily standup happens wherever you feel most focused and inspired—whether it’s your home office, a co-working hub, or a peaceful corner that’s all your own. We trust you to manage your time effectively, take breaks when needed, and work in a way that enables you to deliver your best. Our remote stack means you’re never out of the loop: async updates, transparent planning, and a culture that values well-being as much as velocity.

Growth & Learning

You’ll have the chance to lead initiatives, experiment with emerging tech, and attend industry events—virtually or in person. Your curiosity and drive will be celebrated, and your career trajectory is yours to shape and develop. Whether you’re introducing a new testing framework or hosting an internal workshop, your growth fuels our momentum.

Compensation

Your expertise matters, and so does your well-being. This role offers an annual salary of **$140,000, along **with opportunities for bonuses, professional development, and additional benefits. We believe in sharing success and supporting your goals both at work and beyond.

Ready to Build Something Purposeful?
